High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Speeding makes it more difficult to maintain control of your vehicle and stop in time to avoid unexpected dangers on the road. This is a potentially lethal combination that can significantly raise the likelihood of a serious car accident. According to statistics, speeding drivers have been involved in almost one-third of traffic fatalities documented in the United States over the previous 20 years, and high-speed collisions claim the lives of over 10,000 people every year. Here in New Mexico, speeding is even more common. Surprisingly, excessive speeding is a factor in 35 percent of fatal crashes in the state. Speeding drivers should be held accountable for their carelessness if they cause an accident.
